EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO BE STUCK IN THE 'ON' POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I CANNOT FULLY ACCELERATE, I'M ABLE TO SWITCH THE GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE IGNITION CAN ALSO BE STARTED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS REMAI ON EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK AS BEEN TURNED OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL AS I WAS DRIVING, IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND DRAINED MY BATTERY. IT WAS REALLY SCARY. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED MY SWITCH ASSY. STOP LAMP AND RELAY. I WAS REALLY UPSET TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT CAUSE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SAME MODEL, MAKE AND OF MY CAR I DID SHARE WITH THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE MY ISSUE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS DEFECTIVE. I BARELY USED THIS AND IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.

POWER TRAIN
I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING WITH MY TRANSMISSION ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS; CAR JUMPING INTO LOW GEAR AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH RPMS DRIVING UPHILL, CAR JUMPING INTO LOW GEAR AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH RPMS DRIVING DOWNHILL, AND GEARS 'SLIPPING'. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE NHTSA IN 2017 FOR MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DETAILED WHAT I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THEM. I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ISSUE, THEY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH JANUARY 1, 2021 OR UNTIL MY CAR REACHED 84K MILES. I THOUGHT THE ISSUES WAS ADDRESSED AND WENT ON WITH LIFE. EVEN WHEN I EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES I DOUBTED IT WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED AS I WAS ASSURED THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I STARTED TO THINK IT WAS BRAKES RELATED, A FROZEN CALIPER OR SOMETHING. IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENT WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY 'JUMPED' INTO A LOW GEAR AND I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO GET DOWN THE HILL DID I REALIZE THIS ISSUE WAS IN FACT TRANSMISSION RELATED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS AT 92K MILES AT THIS POINT AND OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NISSAN STATES THEY WILL ONLY COVER 70% OF THE REPAIR COSTS. I URGED THEM TO CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY VOICED CONCERNS WHICH ARE CAPTURED IN THEIR RECORDS AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY ABLE TO NOW DUPLICATE THE ISSUE I HAD PREVIOUSLY VOICED IN 2017 WHEN MY CAR WAS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. NISSAN STATES BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEN, THEY WILL NOT HONOR 100% OF THE REPAIR COSTS AND ARE OFFERING THE 70% OUT OF GOODWILL. I BELIEVE I AND OTHERS MAY BE TREATED UNFAIRLY BY THIS CAR COMPANY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2018. AFTER 50 DAYS OF USE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS BEGAN INCONSISTENTLY AND THEN HAPPENED MORE OFTEN. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER ISSUE BEGAN. WHEN I WOULD BEGIN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, I WOULD PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS WOULD JOLT FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY BUT APPARENTLY FIXED SOMETHING WITH THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER MORE HEAVILY. WHILE TRYING TO PARK, MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CAME TO A HAULT AND STOPPED MOVING. IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. ALL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND ONE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT VISIBLE ON THE DASH WAS LISTED NO WHERE IN MY MANUAL AND THE INFORMATION ON THE DASH SAID "NO WARNINGS". AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED "HYBRID VEHICLE MALFUNCTION' WAS WHAT THE WARNING LIGHT MEANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND AM AWAITING TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE. AT TIME OF PURCHASE, BOTH VISORS MADE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN THEY WERE PULLED DOWN OR PUSHED UP. THE PLASTIC ATTACHED TO THE HINGE BROKE. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE BROKEN PLASTIC PREVENTS THE VISOR FROM BEING PUSHED ALL OF THE WAY UP, THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER'S VISION BEING PARTIALLY BLOCKED.

THE SUN VISORS HAVE ALWAYS NOT FULLY RETURNED TO THE POSITION WHEN CLOSED LIKE ALL OTHERS DO. HOWEVER, WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR BROKE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION ON AN INTERSTATE. IMPEDING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER, DURING OPERATION, IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE.

SUN VISORS ARE AN ISSUE FOR SO MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS! THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP. THEY FALL WHILE DRIVING WHEN YOU POSSIBLY GET THEM TO STAY. WHEN THEY WON'T STAY UP THEY STAY DOWN AND MYSELF AND PASSENGERS ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING OUR HEADS ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SUN VISORS IN THE PATHFINDERS HAVE A PLASTIC HINGE ATTACHMENT THAT FAILS REGULARLY IN SEVERAL YEARS OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE SUN VISOR MAY NOT BE SAFETY CRITICAL EQUIPMENT, THE MODE OF FAILURE MAKES IT UNSAFE. WHEN IT FAILS, YOU ARE UNABLE RETURN IT TO NORMAL POSITION AND IT HANGS FULLY DOWN (AT LEAST IN MY CASE) OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. WHEN IT FAILED FOR ME, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, WITH VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE FIXED THE FAILED VISOR SO CAN'T PROVIDE A PICTURE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN LAST YEAR THEN FINALLY BROKE. WE BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT FOR $100. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. WE HAVE HIT OUR HEADS NUMEROUS TIMES AND OTHER PASSENGERS AS WELL. THEN, JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THE NEWLY INSTALLED DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND PAINFUL WHEN COLLIDING WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR. NISSAN SHOULD GIVE RECALL ON THEIR 2014 PATHFINDER SUN VISORS. DURING DRIVING THE VISOR HANGS HALFWAY DOWN WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVING VIEW AND ALSO REDUCES DEPTH OF FIELD VISION FOR BRAKING PURPOSES.

AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW IN 2014) THE VISORS BEGAN MAKING POPPING NOISES WHEN LOWERED AND WOULD NOT STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING MY VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STAYED ON EVEN WHEN I AM OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR IS OFF. I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE PEDAL, AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALREADY PRESSED. THE CAR STUTTERS TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING. I WORKED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED THROUGH NISSAN AFTER SEEING A RECALL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. NISSAN REJECTED FIXING THE PROBLEM DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RECALL. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHICH STATED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROL AND PUSH BUTTON STATER SWITCH NEED REPLACING. I REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000 AS SIMILAR TO MY CASE.

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARE MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THIS IS CAUSING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A POPPING NOISE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO DROP.

BOTH "SUN" VISORS ON VERGE OF BREAKING. WHEN PUTTING DOWN OR UP, THEY WILL MAKE A SNAPPING NOISE AND HANG LOOSELY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL FLOP DOWN. VISORS NEVER STAY UP PROPERLY OR SAFELY. I'VE HAD IT FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. THEY ARE NOT SAFE! SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE $400 FOR THEM TO BE FIXED. THE PAIR THAT'S BREAKING IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
